INMATE ESCAPE: Work Release Escapee Sought

Law enforcement officials are looking for an inmate who failed to return to a work release facility in Des Moines.

The Iowa Department of Corrections says 24-year-old Marcus Andre Frazier was placed on escape status after he didn’t come back to the Fort Des Moines Residential Correctional Facility after work Tuesday night.

Frazier is described as a black male with black hair and brown eyes. He is five-foot-nine and 152 pounds. Frazier also has a tattoo of “NKMB” with stars on his chest.

He is serving a 10 year prison sentence for intimidation with a dangerous weapon.

If you have any information on Frazier’s location you’re asked to contact the Des Moines Police Department or Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
